Regina Thunder run roughshod over Winnipeg in costly win

The Regina Thunder improved their record to 3-1 Saturday night with a 43-29 win over the Winnipeg Rifles in a game played in front of a sold-out crowd featuring many players from Regina Minor Football at their Leibel Field home.

Running back Victor St.Pierre-Laviolette ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns while Ethan Hautz ran for 129 yards and a touchdown to lead the Thunder.

The injury bug also hit the team as receiver/kicker Kris Calcutt, defensive back Tyson Haubrich and receiver Nathan Fortin all suffered injuries that could be season-ending.

The Thunder will be in Saskatoon to take on the Hilltops next weekend.
